Services · Ecommerce development · Self-storage booking sites
Codeeo offers self-storage booking website development in Manchester for operators who want renters across Greater Manchester to reserve and pay without waiting for office hours. Apartment movers in Ancoats, students leaving Fallowfield, sellers in the Northern Quarter and production teams at MediaCity in Salford all reach the same result: a chosen unit, a signed agreement, a first payment and access details by email. The booking lands straight in your storage software.
Our team works with Manchester businesses remotely. Workshops, design reviews and testing are held on video calls, and you own the website, the renter data and the payment accounts from launch.

What the booking website includes
Manchester's storage renters cluster into a few clear groups. City centre apartment residents have little spare space and move often. Students at the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford need somewhere to put belongings over the summer. Independent retailers and online sellers need stock rooms, and the TV and production businesses around MediaCity need short-term space for kit and props.
Each group books differently. Students book in a rush at the end of the academic year, production teams book for weeks rather than months, and apartment movers often need to fit a move around a building's loading bay rules. The capabilities below are chosen and ordered for your stores, so the first release serves the renters who bring you the most revenue. A store in Stockport letting mostly to families will not need the production or student features at all, and we will not build them unless you ask.
Many city centre buildings in Deansgate, Ancoats and Castlefield control when residents can use the loading bay or goods lift. Renters can note their building's booked move window, pick a matching move-in or collection time, and get reminders the day before. Staff see the window in the dashboard, so the unit is ready and the trolleys are free when the van arrives.
Moves line up with building rules instead of clashing with them.
A student house can book one unit together, with a lead renter who signs and pays and housemates added as authorised users. The booking window opens weeks before the end of term, with a deposit to hold the unit and reminders before both move-in and collection.
The summer rush is booked online, not queued at reception.
Crews working around MediaCity and Trafford can book a unit by the week for a shoot, extend it online when a schedule slips, and receive VAT invoices automatically. The end date triggers a vacate reminder so units come back into stock quickly.
Short bookings without manual invoices or extension phone calls.
Sellers can open a business account, add staff who may access the unit, and pay monthly by card or Direct Debit. Company details are checked against Companies House data at sign-up to reduce errors, and VAT invoices are issued for every payment.
A steady business renter base with tidy records.
Each store page gives directions by Metrolink tram and Bee Network bus as well as by car, with parking and loading notes. Greater Manchester has no charging clean air zone, so move-day guidance focuses on access, parking and busy times such as match days near Old Trafford and the Etihad.
Renters arrive at the right entrance at a sensible time.
Self-storage online payment integration in Manchester covers cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay for the first payment with Strong Customer Authentication, automatic monthly or weekly rent afterwards, and Direct Debit for long stays. Refunds for cancellations follow your terms and appear in the renter's account.
Rent collected automatically, refunds handled cleanly.
The headline price for each unit already includes any compulsory fee or product, as the drip pricing ban in the DMCC Act 2024 requires. Boxes, padlocks you do not require and van hire stay optional and clearly labelled.
The price renters see is the price they pay.
Consumers booking online receive the information the Consumer Contracts Regulations require before they commit, including how to cancel within fourteen days. They sign on screen, ask for storage to start early if they need it, and receive a copy by email. The signed agreement is stored against the renter for your staff.
Online agreements your terms and your staff can rely on.
Renters receive reminders before a fixed period ends, can extend or give notice online, and see the move-out date and any final charge. Marketing emails go only to renters who opted in, in line with PECR.
Fewer surprise departures and fewer overstays.
Managers see reservations, move-ins, extensions, arrears and notices across every store in the city region, filtered by site. Prices and fees can be set for one store, a group of boroughs or the whole estate.

Who this is for
Greater Manchester has ten boroughs, each with a different mix of housing, industry and students. A store near Oxford Road depends on the academic calendar. A site on Trafford Park serves businesses and trades. A mobile storage company brings containers to the renter's door. We plan the booking website around which of these you are, so the features you pay for are the ones your renters use.
Some operators fit more than one description, for example a store near the universities that also lets units to trades. In that case we decide which group gets its flow first, based on revenue and how many bookings you currently lose to slow replies.
Your renters live in apartments and student houses within a few miles of the store. They book on their phones, often late at night, and compare prices quickly. We focus on a fast mobile checkout, apartment move coordination and student booking windows, with store pages that rank for the neighbourhoods around you, such as Hulme, Ancoats or Didsbury. Outside the student season, the same pages promote smaller units to apartment residents.
Fast mobile booking for a young, mobile renter base.
Your renters are trades, production companies and online sellers who need business accounts, VAT invoices, weekly or monthly terms and several authorised users. We build account features first and keep the consumer flow simple, because your revenue comes from businesses. Account holders can download every invoice, add or remove staff, and request extra units without calling the store.
You deliver containers or collect belongings and store them in a warehouse. Renters book a collection date, choose how many containers they need, and pay for storage and transport in one checkout. Return deliveries are booked online from their account, and the dashboard shows each day's collections and returns so your drivers can plan routes.
Collection, storage and return sold in one booking.
You run stores in Manchester and plan to add sites in Bolton, Oldham, Stockport or Wigan. We build a store template that new sites slot into, central pricing rules, and reporting that compares how each store converts online visitors into paid bookings. Old store websites are redirected into the new platform so existing rankings carry over.
How we work
Codeeo is a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, with 200+ projects delivered across the UAE and the US and a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews. We work with Manchester operators remotely and do not visit stores; your team shares photos and data, and we meet on video at each stage. The main cost drivers are the number of stores, how many renter flows you need, weekly as well as monthly billing, Direct Debit and business accounts, the depth of the storage software link and any migration from an older website.
You receive a written scope before design begins, separating the first release from later phases, so you know what you are paying for at each step.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Multi-site Greater Manchester groups usually get a Next.js front end and a Laravel engine for reservations and billing. A single store can run on WordPress with custom booking code. Renter data is handled under UK GDPR and analytics loads only after consent.

Store pages, unit search, checkout, agreements and recurring payments, built around your renters.
We start by understanding who rents from you and how they pay. The build then covers store pages for your Greater Manchester sites, a size guide, live availability from your storage software, a checkout that shows all-in prices, an online agreement with the correct cancellation information, and recurring billing by card or Direct Debit. Student, production and business features are added where your revenue justifies them, and each phase is scoped and tested separately.
